abstract = {Since February 2002, the SABER (sounding of the atmosphere
using broadband emission radiometry) satellite instrument
has measured temperatures throughout the entire middle
atmosphere. Employing the same techniques as previously used
for CRISTA (cryogenic infrared spectrometers and telescopes
for the atmosphere), we deduce from SABER V1.06 data 5 years
of gravity wave (GW) temperature variances from altitudes of
20 to 100 km. A typical annual cycle is presented by
calculating averages for the individual calendar months.
Findings are consistent with previous results from various
satellite missions. Based on zonal mean, SABER data for July
and zonal mean GW momentum flux from CRISTA, a homogeneous
and isotropic launch distribution for the GROGRAT (gravity
wave regional or global ray tracer) is tuned. The launch
distribution contains different phase speed mesoscale waves,
some of very high-phase speed and extremely low amplitudes,
as well as waves with horizontal wavelengths of several
thousand kilometers. Global maps for different seasons and
altitudes, as well as time series of zonal mean GW squared
amplitudes based on this launch distribution, match the
observations well. Based on this realistic observation-tuned
model run, we calculate quantities that cannot be measured
directly and are speculated to be major sources of
uncertainty in current GW parameterization schemes. Two
examples presented in this paper are the average
cross-latitude propagation of GWs and the relative
acceleration contributions provided by saturation and
dissipation, on the one hand, and the horizontal refraction
of GWs by horizontal gradients of the mean flow, on the
other hand.},
